Chirurgie bei Läsionen des Nervus facialis

Zusammenfassung

Ursachen für eine Läsion mit nachfolgender Lähmung des N. facialis sind vielfältig, von der idiopathischen Fazialisparese bis hin zur Destruktion des Nervs durch einen malignen Tumor. Eine Indikation zur chirurgischen Intervention besteht immer dann, wenn die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer spontanen Heilung mit gutem funktionellen Ergebnis gering oder gar nicht vorhanden ist, und eine medikamentöse Behandlung nicht möglich oder auch der chirurgischen Therapie unterlegen ist.

Abstract

There are numerous reasons for facial palsy, which range from idiopathic palsy (Bell’s palsy) to destruction of the facial nerve by a malignant salivary gland tumor. If the chance of spontaneous recovery is low or there is no drug therapy available, surgery is a therapeutical option. Recently, larger studies were published by specialized centers which enable a more individualized therapeutical concept to achieve tone, symmetry and movement of the paralyzed face based on a detailed preoperative assessment. An important therapy target is the improvement of patient´s quality of life. In the present article, we systematically review the important diagnostic steps and, directly derived from this, the indications for surgical options for reanimation of the mimic function. Furthermore, we provide an overview about a variety of postoperative adjuvant measures as well as on new objective assessment tools to evaluate the therapy results.
